2 Wa 11

1 Lè Athalie, manman Achazia te wè ke fis li a te mouri, li te leve detwi tout pitit a fanmi wayal yo.

Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom put to death.

2 Men Yehoshéba, fi a Wa Joram nan, sè Achazia a, te pran Joas, fis a Achazia a e li te rachte li pami fis a wa ki t ap mete a lanmò yo, e li te plase li avèk fanm nouris pa li nan chanm dòmi an. Konsa, yo te kache li soti Athalie pou li pa t mete a lanmò.

But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.

3 Konsa, li te kache avèk li pandan sizan lakay SENYÈ a, pandan Athalie t ap renye sou peyi a.

And for six years she kept him safe in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah was ruling over the land.

4 Alò, nan setyèm ane a, Joïada te voye mennen kapitèn a santèn yo, a Karyen yo ak nan gad yo. Li te mennen yo kote li lakay SENYÈ a, e li te montre yo fis a wa a.

Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.

5 Li te kòmande yo e te di: “Men bagay ke ou oblije fè: yon tyè nan nou, ki vin antre nan Saba a, veye sou lakay wa a;

And he gave them orders, saying, This is what you are to do: the third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the king's house,

6 yon tyè tou, nan Pòtay ki rele Sur a, ak yon tyè nan pòtay dèyè gad yo, ki va veye sou kay la kòm defans.

7 De pati ladann nan, tout moun ki sòti nan Saba a, va osi veye sou lakay SENYÈ a pou wa a.

And the two divisions of you, who go out on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the house of the Lord,

8 Epi nou va antoure wa a, chak moun avèk zam li nan men l; epi nenpòt moun ki antre nan ran pa nou, yo va mete a lanmò. Epi rete avèk wa a lè l sòti ak lè l lantre.”

Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.

9 Konsa, kapitèn a santèn yo te fè selon tout sa ke Jehojada, prèt la, te kòmande li. Yo chak nan yo te pran mesye pa li yo ki te genyen pou antre nan Saba a, avèk sila ki te gen pou sòti nan Saba yo pou te rive kote Jehojada, prèt la.

And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.

10 Prèt la te bay kapitèn a santèn yo lans avèk boukliye, sòti lakay SENYÈ a ki te konn pou Wa David la.

And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the spears and body-covers which had been King David's, and which were kept in the house of the Lord.

11 Gad yo te kanpe chak avèk zam pa yo nan men yo, soti sou kote dwat kay la, jis rive sou kote goch kay la, akote lotèl la e akote kay la, yo te antoure wa a.

Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house.

12 Epi li te mennen fè parèt deyò fis a wa a e te mete kouwòn nan sou tèt li, avèk temwen an; epi yo te fè li wa e te onksyone li. Yo te bat men yo e te di: “Viv wa a!”

Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.

13 Lè Athalie te tande bwi a gad la ak pèp la, li te vin kote moun yo lakay SENYÈ a.

Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;

14 Li te gade, e men vwala, wa a te kanpe akote pilye a, selon koutim nan, avèk kapitèn yo ak twonpèt yo akote wa a. Epi tout moun peyi a t ap rejwi e sone twonpèt yo. Athalie te chire rad li e te kriye: “Trayizon, Trayizon!”

And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!

15 Jehojada, prèt la, te kòmande kapitèn a santèn ki te chwazi sou lame a. Li te di yo: “Mennen li deyò antre nan ran sòlda yo e nenpòt moun ki swiv li, mete li a lanmò avèk nepe.” Paske prèt la te di: “Pa kite li mete a lanmò nan kay SENYÈ a.”

Then Jehoiada the priest gave orders to those who were placed in authority over the army, saying, Take her outside the lines, and let anyone who goes after her be put to death with the sword, for he said, Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.

16 Pou sa, yo te sezi li, lè li te rive kote antre cheval lakay wa yo, li te mete a lanmò la.

So they put their hands on her, and she went to the king's house by the doorway of the horses, and there she was put to death.

17 Epi Jehojada te fè yon akò antre SENYÈ a, wa a ak pèp la, pou yo ta devni pèp SENYÈ a, e osi antre pèp la avèk wa a.

And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people; and in the same way between the king and the people.

18 Tout pèp peyi a te ale kote kay Baal la, yo te chire li. Lotèl li ak imaj li yo, yo te kraze an mòso nèt, e yo te touye Matthan, prèt Baal la, devan lotèl yo. Prèt la te chwazi ofisye yo sou kay SENYÈ a.

Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.

19 Li te pran kapitèn a santèn yo avèk Karyen yo, avèk gad yo ak tout pèp peyi a. Konsa, yo te mennen wa a desann soti lakay SENYÈ a e yo te vini pa chemen pòtay gad yo rive lakay wa a. Epi li te chita sou twòn a wa yo.

Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.

20 Konsa, tout pèp peyi a te rejwi e vil la te vin kalm. Paske yo te mete Athalie a lanmò pa nepe a lakay wa a.

So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.

21 Joas te genyen laj sèt ane lè l te vin wa a.

And Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.
